The only scheme for the continuance of [ year he ret: rned to fall fellowshlp with grading which to the Republican’s mind hns any practicable point, is that of narrowing the restdence streets, and the practicable sale of the extra property to the owners of the real estate which it joins, Ouar residence streets The prop- The proposition to narrow the resi- dence streets of Omaha and to sell the surplus to the owners of adjscent lots fa nelther novel nor practicable. It was urged long ago by narrow-gauged oitl- zons who were frightened at the pros- pective expense of paving, and by cun- nlng schemers who wanted to acquire valusble additlons to thele lots fora mere song. The vesldence streets of Omsha are nota bit too wide, They are from twenty to filly feet narrower than the beautiful avenues of Minaeapo- lis, Oleveland, Dotrolt and Buffalo. In thoss oities there are miles upon mlles of paved residenca streets, which with lawns and double rows of shade trees present the appearance of magnificent parks, Omsha s fortunate In having broad streots in contrast with the narrow lanes which are called streats In St. Joe, Kansas Olty, St. Louls and St. Paul. It {s not necessary that the res!dence streets shall bo paved thelr full wildth, They should be parked. With the curb thirty feet from the line of the lots, and a alx- foot stone or ayphalt walk 1In the conter with grass and trees on each side, Omsha can oaslly be made one of the handsom- ost clties Inthe west. Bat even If 1t were desirable to narrow our resldence streots, the echeme to ralse money for public improvemsnts by selling the eur- plus strlps of land to the lot owners Is utterly imprictlcable. The strests of Omaha have been dedicated [for public use, and any attempt to sell parts of them would be enjoined by the courtr. Nothing can better lllustrate the un falrness which could be exorclsed in favor of one property owner to the detrl- ment of another, than the narrowing of Twenty-third street, By some mysteri- ous Influsnce lot owners on one side of tho street have been glven the use of about sixteen feet beyond the original curb line, while the partles on the oppo- Pennsylvania hava inserted in thefr plat- form a graded llcerso plask.

CoNkuiNG, nephew of the aenator, denles that he has chsllenged any one to a duel on account of adverse orltlclsm of Grant’s character, or for any other cause, He s not on the shoot, as he thinks life is worth the living. Tae talk about the Uhloago & North western running Into Omaha is slmply abreeza, It amounts to nothing, If the Ohleago & Northwestern oannot treat Omaha more falrly than it Is doing, Omsha has no usa for that rallroad, Ifit will only stop its discriminations agsinst this city it would ba dolng us a more sub- stantls] benefit than it could in any other wiy. TaE firat gun in the Ohlo campalgn has ‘been fired by John Shorman, Hlis speech was an eloquent effort, and will infuse eonthuslasm into the raoks of the rapublicans, but we question the propri- ety of his defense of John Roach. The lers eaid about Mr. Roach the better it will be for the republican party. Any attompt to make a poliiical mariyr or is:ue out of Rosch should be summarlly set dewn upon, ‘WaiLe all this talk about various lceal railroad enterprless Is going on, we would like to ask what has become of that new bridge scheme? Isa’t 1t about tims that the projectors of that bridge take some steps toward buoilding 1t? If we are not to bave that brldge the peop's of thls olty would like to know it, as they would then in all probabllity procced aga'nst the Unlon Paclfic to compel 1t to provide a wagon-way on its bridge, In ac- cordanca with the orlg'nal intentlon and agreement and the provieions of the oherter, slte slde of the street were allotted only four feet. The curb of the new line has not yat been put down, but when it is 1aid the favored parties will have an ele- gant lawn outslde of their fences, while thoss opposite will have to caut down thelr shade troes and thelr lots will present a very unfavorable contrast. The pretense for narrowing Twenty-third street was that the orlginal street was 1aid out twenty fzet wider than the ex- tenslon. The partles located on the wider portlon of the street have their remedy in the courts, but it 1s a hard- ship to compel citizens to go to the ex- pense of injunction or damsge suits. The moral of this experiment of narrow- ing the streets is obvlovs, In the firat place it 1s {llegal, and in the next placs undeslrable. Itcosts a great deal of money to make Otasha a beautifal city, but the money thus expended goes far towards bullding up the city at a time when employment is needed by the work- {ag men who bave come here to locate Other cltles are expending millions in widening thelr sireets. PIATT AND FLANNAGAN. Don Piatt has written an open letter {0 Grover Cleveland upon *‘Olvil Service; Its rot and its remedy.” Don Platt was onco a republican and an office-holder. He is now a democrat and a dlsappointed office-seeker. The tenor of his letter, therefore, can easily be inferred withount the neceeslty of reading it, although it Is well worthy of a perusal. DMr, Platt voices the sentiments of the great majorlty «f the demooratic party, nct- withstanding the various state platform planks endorslog the clvll servloe attitude of Grover COleveland. Ho polntedly ssks if the poor devils secklog cffise, who organized Cleveland and Hendrloks olubs, donned unlforms, engiged brass bande, poisoned the midnight air with torches, mostly coat oil ia Ohio, and shouted themselves hoarze in the good cause, were not fighting for offices, and for nothing else? To that polnted question he would like an answer from Mr, Clevelsnd. He would alno like Mr, Oleveland to tell him just where thls much-dispised politics ends and clvil service reform begins, Mr. Piatt throughount hls letter Is in entlre socord with Mr. Flannagan, of Texas, whone Interzogatory—*What are we here Tae Republican takes the Bek to task for having stated that the occnitant deollao of wheat in the speculative mar- ket is not at all conslstent wilh the acknowledged shortage tn the crop.

The New York state republioan central commlttes has taken a very sensible step in adopting a resolution, which s con- stroed to :ean a cordlal Invitation to the mugwamps to return to the fold, and let bygones be bygones. Ths resolutlon states thas It 1s the judgment of the com- mittee that all voters residing In the sev- eral asser.bly distrlots of ths state who adhere to the princlples of the republican party, and whose general Intentlon is to act with the party and promote its nuc- ocess by tholr votes and influence at the next general election, be invited, without regard to any so-called ‘‘fundsmental test,” to attend and take part in the prl- marles, and the committee recommends all organizations of the party throughont the state to act In com- pliance with tho foregolng suggestions. Now that the bars are down 1t is hoped that the r.ugwumps wlil re-enter the re- publican pasture. It willba remembered that after the defeat of Blaine and Logan the teat of republicanism, whenever ap- plication was made for membership in republlean oclubs, was the question whother the applicant voted the republi- can presidential tleket. The same rule wes adopted by the c'ubs in many instan- ces In regard to primary elections. The republican leaders have evidently loarned that votes are neceesary for succers, and that machine methods are becoming un- popular with the independent element of the ropublican party. In order to stand a good chanca of victory this fall the re- publicans must have the votes and co- operation of the Independents. The central committee has certalnly acted wisely in making an effort to harmonize the varicus elements of the party. Now let a good tlcket be nominated, and the prospects for victory will be of the most encouraging character. TaE executlon of Louls Rlel has been fixed for September 8th, and although there has been much sympathy expressed for him, especially in the United States, and conslderable effort made to secure a commutation of his sentence to Im- prisonment for life, the probabllity Is that he will be hanged. It has been the general impression in the Unlted States that the great msjority of the people of Canada were in favor of 8 commutation, bat it would seem from the statements of the Montreal S‘ar, that such is really not the case. The Star, in order to secure sn expreesion of opinion, sent clrcular letters cf inquiry to leading pspers In every county in the Dominfon. Ofthe G4 pspers making answer, 41 call for Rlel’s blood, seven are inclined to contider him ineane, two are opposed to the execution of political «ffinders, three pronounce the trlal unfalr, and one wants the government to act withont any re- gard to newspaper opinion, The feeling is very bitter on both sldes, It may be poesible, however, that the voice of the prees In thls ciee Is not the voice of the people. A moticn for an appeal having been denied, Ricl's attorneys will make an effort fn his behalf thrcugh the privy council. The sentiment in the United States, where the people and press are not governed by local prejudices, is that Riel cught not be hanged, and that the Canadian government will make a serlous mistake in permittlog him to ba exe- cuted. —— New Mexrco's census shows a popula- tlon of 158,823, This includes all the Indlans In the territory, clviliz:d and un- clvilizad, and all United States troops statloned In New Mexico, Shorn cf this element, and having reference to fami- lies whoee heads are subjeot to taxation, the population numbers 133,350, The population, as shown by the centus of 1880, was, all told, 110,245, and the tots] as ot prescnt figured showe, therefore, an increate of 41,668, ——— JonN KeLLy's days as a political boss over, and Tammany Is not likely to see the ligkt of his countenance for some time to come.

The present admlnistration has falllen heir to s number of difficalt tatks oces- sioned by the nezlect of its predecessors to enforce the rights of the government snd to pratact those of the people. For a dozen years abuses and fraude have been permiited to multiply and increase until 1t Is 8 herculean labor to remedy them, Nothing but the connivance or the sup'nenees of the government csuld have permltted the great cattle-raising o mpsuies, some of them organizad abroad and more of them supplied with forelgn capital, to appropriate millions of acres of public lands and inclose them with wice fences as if they were private property. This prodiglous stealiog could easily have been prevented; to ovst vhe plunderers from possesslon now will be a task of no small difficalty. Our Washington leiter on the subjact gives some idea of the extent of this lawless appropriation af vast areas of the public domain, of the boldness of tbe plunderers, and of the utter Inefficiency of the lsst administratiocn in act- ing wuvpon the numerous complaints and reports which it recelved selting forth the wronge done to actual or intending settlers.

Minneapolis and St. Paul—the twin cltios of the northwest—ara sitnated,in the contor of one of the great groups of Inkes I wish to speak of in thls corre- spondence. The princlpal ons, and In fact the prinolpal lske resort of the whole northwest, is lako Minnetonks, which {s sltuate fifteen mlles west of Minneapolls, and twenty-five from St Paul, Its length {s about fiftoen mliles and greatest width something like one mile, bat owing toits innumerable bays, inlets, twists and taros, It has a shore line of nearly three hundred miles. The lake Is reached from elther of the above cities by threa lines of railroads, the St, Paul, Minneapolls & Manitoba, the Minneapolls & S:. Louis, Paslfic divleion, and the Minneapolis, Lyndale & Minnetonks rallroad. Each traln upon arrival at the different stations upon the lake Is met by one or mora of the large lake steamors which ply the waters In all directions, Several of these sioamers are of lramense size and fitted up in elegant atylo. Thelargoest, the “Bella of Miu- netonka,” his w capacity of 3,000 per- sonn; the “Olty of St. Loula” nearly the sawe number. There are also great num- bers of smaller brats with capasitles of from fifty to one thousand. The lake boasts of threo towas on its border: Wayzatta, at the extreme east- «ra end; Exocelslor, on the mouth shors, neatly midway, and Mound City, on the western shore. Hotols ani boarding houses are the order of the lake, every mile or two along the shore being dotted with build- ings to this end, while almost the entlre spaca Intervening is taken up by neat cottages erected by wealthy sitizens of St. Paul, Minneapolis and other oities, who move their famiiics thither esch summer, thus avolding the dlssgrecable soason of the cltien. The largest hotel, the Lafayette, is the properiy of the St P. M., & M. railroad company, and as a sample of an elegant sammer resort hotel cannot ba equailed by any in the northwest and s hardly ex colled by thoss st Saratogs and other eastern resorts. The Lafayette has a ca- pacity of over 1,000 gaests and s gorge- ously fitted up snd possesses all the con- venlercas to be found In any of the leading hotels of the clties, The regular woekly dre:s balls of the Lafayette are the arlstocratic events of the northwest, and the leading papers of the eastern and southern cities have special reporters at the Lisfayette each week to report these events for the delectation of thelr readers. Regular weekly concerts and muslcales are also glven by the Lafayette orchestra assisted by varlous city talent which are also very attractive affairs. Other leading hotels are the Lake Park Hotel, St. Loulsand Chapman house. The first two ara atylieh sfiatre, whils the lat- ter 1s a qalst, homelike place and is a favorite wi h those of the wealthy clasy who deslre to get away frcm the nolse and bustle of the larger hotels. The location of the Chapman house s also the finest and most pictureeque of sny upon the lake while the fishing near by cannot bs equalled at any other polut on the lake.
